Marcus,
Look at your list again, I will disagree with a number of them. Share your
opinions if you disagree....
1. 'frame-relay map .....broadcast'
This is an absolute must at the hub, if you want to pass any routing
protocol accross and offcourse in the CCIE Lab, you will want this to occur.
2. 'ip ospf demand-circuit'
I will agree with you on this. This is only require on one side of the Link.
3. 'dialer load-threshold'
I will also agree with you on this.
4. 'no bgp synchronization'
This really depend on the wording of your Lab, there are some occasions
where you will not be told to turn it off, but to meet certain goals of the
Lab, you must turn it off. It is just like having a Lab scenerio like:
'Configure a multipoint hub and spoke frame relay network, ensure full
routing reachability for all routers using EIGRP'
Nothing in that scenerio tell you to turn off 'split horizon', but to
achieve 'full routing reachability', in addition to other configurations,
split horizon must be turned off.
5. 'backup interface/dialer-watch only on one side'
One do not necessary need these on both sides of the link, except your
scenerio calls for it.
Thanks.
